Window Maker is a window manager for X11 designed to emulate the look and feel of NeXTSTEP as an environment compatible with OpenStep libraries. It has been developed from scratch since 1997 by Alfredo Kojima in C.
Installation
Window Maker can be installed from most package managers.
On Debian and Debian-based distributions:
sudo apt install wmaker
On Arch and Arch-based distributions, Window Maker can be only only installed with an AUR helper such as yay:
yay -S windowmaker
On Gentoo and Gentoo-based distributions:
sudo emerge -av x11-wm/windowmaker
On RHEL, Fedora and Fedora-based distributions:

wget https://www.windowmaker.org/pub/source/release/WindowMaker-0.96.0.tar.gz
tar xvf WindowMaker-0.96.0.tar.gz
cd WindowMaker-0.96.0.tar.gz
